Summary/Abstract: The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) called ‘Learning Design Studio for ICT-based learning activities’ was offered from May 19th to June 20th 2014 to teachers and teacher trainers as part of the second pilot of the European Lifelong Learning project HANDSON. The MOOC was aimed at promoting the inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning by empowering educators with digital competences. Following the Learning Design Studio approach (Mor & Mogilevsky, 2013), the MOOC was designed as a set of activities to walk educators in the design process of an ICT- based learning activity ready to be used in their classrooms.
